"The List" event

Team name: The Triad
Team members (profiles linked on their names): Raiya, Spencer, Novak

Which character will...

• Throw the first punch
  
  Raiya
  

• Steal all the bath bombs
  
  New section in Omnia just dropped: self care.
  The store worker was probably very rude. Bless the gods for Novak’s trench coat

• Get trampled by the crowd
  
  Not Spencer. *ghost noises*
  The team can handle war beasts, what’s a few hordes of teenagers and Karens?

• Purposely tip over someone else's cart
   
  A well-stocked cart rounds the corner at alarming speed and rams into the Trio. The elves, as polite as they can be, chose to apologize and allow the cart to pass even though they were not the ones at fault.
   
  They hear the cart master grumble profane unmentionables under their breath as they continue on their way.
   
  Raiya:

• Accidentally tip over someone else's cart
  Spencer didn't phase in time.

• Runs over a child
  
  Novak is tall, ok
  

• Get into a fight with their own team member
  
  Raiya, with that first punch

• Gets in line to sit on Santa's lap
  
  Spencer. He is very, very lost. He thought it was a wise old wizard he met when traveling through Greenland.
   
  Unfortunately this wizard knows nothing about magic books or dead languages.

• Climb the shelves to get an item off the top shelf
  
  Raiya.
  
  “Just let us help yo-”
  
  “NO-”

• Has to help the character above get items off the top shelf
   
  Novak or Spencer. She’s probably climbing over them rather than getting a boost

• Hijacks the intercom & makes a fake announcement
  
   
  Novak: “It's alright, I really don't want to be a bother–”
  
  Raiya, already on the intercom: “Hi yeah, we have a question.”
  
  
  
  

• Waits in the car
  
  Novak. Gets angry that all the trees in the store are fake
  
  

• Be the extreme couponer at the checkout
  
  Spencer, being the historian. He also has ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD.
  (Some of these coupons are from the 60’s)
  
  

• Pay with a jar of coins
  
  Novak. He’d pull it from one of his magic coat pockets.
  It’s their last option, and the cashier is tired enough to let the mix of Greek coins, gold pieces, and sewing buttons pass. 

• Be the first to get fired if they worked at the store
  
  Raiya. Commercial customer service generally isn’t a skill Dragon Riders need
  
  

• Pepper sprays someone
  
  Raiya, at the checkout
  
  

• Who shoplifts?
  
  Yes

• Who starts playing Marco Polo
  
  Raiya and Novak to hunt down Spencer. He got startled in the electronics section and skittered off.
  

• Camps out at the store before opening time
  
  All three, but in true camping fashion.
  There’s a cooking fire made out of things they found.
  One of them caught a squirrel to cook.
  The other shoppers are getting concerned.
  But hey- only two hours to go!
  
  

• Most likely to shop in an inflatable T-Rex costume
  
  Novak
  
  

• Most likely to be the streaker
  
  Novak. He was trying on clothes in the dressing room and forgot something out in his cart.
   
  Raiya and Spencer: “We could have just handed it to you!” 

• Goes to the 20-item or less line with two carts full of items
  
  Raiya (Not Novak, he’s stealing.)
  
  

• Steals CDs/discs/games and leaves the empty boxes on the shelf
  
  
  
  
• Get to checkout only to realize they HAVE to run back and get one more thing
  
  
  
  
• Which character just needed groceries?
  Raiya

• Who forgets their wallet?
  
  Raiya has a wallet, but forgot it.
  Novak keeps trying to hand the self-checkout machine Greek coins
  Spencer: “You don’t need a wallet when you can pass through walls.”

• Which character gets lost and ends up in the backrooms?
  
  Spencer, after accidentally phasing through a dressing room wall. It’s been a long game of Marco-Polo.
  
  
  

• Which member has the closest Karen haircut?
  
  A group of Karens is called a “Complaint”
  
  

• Which member has the most Karen personality
  
  None of them initially. Try grumbling rude things under your breath and see what happens, though.
  
  They’re all Karens by the end.

• Who's idea was it to go shopping to begin with?
  Raiya, for the aforementioned groceries. She was oblivious to the chaos that would await them

• Who actually finished the shopping list?
  
  “We had a list..?”
  Raiya: “Groceries-”
  In unison: “Ohhh yeah,”
  
  
  

" This past year has come with its own burdens and accomplishments...

I’ve traveled to seemingly every corner of the world in the past twelve months. I have taken boat rides to the furthest regions of the West, as well as along the borders of Nightwing.  The forests have taken many days out of the past months and the deserts as I walked. I have swam (and nearly drowned) in the ocean's trenches, fighting off sea monsters I never knew existed. I have traveled by train, car, horseback, and on foot. I have met with the smallest of plant sprites, and the largest of extraterrestrial beings as if this world couldn't get any more complicated. With new magicks at my disposal, I have traveled by portal to opposite regions and passed through Sanctum Cafe as an interdimensional pause from the havoc that was the past year in this life.

I have made dear friends from unexpected places, where simple conversations made the differences of lives at stake. Likewise, I have met new comrades in real-time as the speed of life pushed us together. I have met up with old friends I couldn’t have missed more dearly, no matter the distance or time we spent apart. No matter how many dearest friends, I have made a formidable enemy in the past months.

One thing I have yet to visit are the skies. Recent leads regarding Chanook have changed the path for both Raiya and I. My resolution is to find the truth about where my most trusted friend has been after so many years. Chanook is alive. He has been waiting, just as I have been.  After what feels like countless years, my dragon is alive. Nothing will stop me from proving that. 

My second resolution is to stop this most formidable enemy mentioned prior. Not only has Marius stolen and killed in attempts to reach me, but he has also turned toward the dark arts in order to do so. I vow to put an end to the violence Marius Krein has turned against me and whoever he may think stands between us. I don’t know where his vengeance originates, nor why I have been hunted.  I only know that I can't let another innocent life get in the way of his war path... the sorcerer brings forth just as many questions as he does concerns.

As a third resolution, I vow to find peace through it all. I have given the better half of the past year solving troubles that have only evolved into deeper troubles. I yearn to travel again for the sake of simply traveling and spending my moments enjoying my surroundings. I yearn to return to my library work and bookbinding that I am sure has gathered unnecessary dust since I last stepped into the library caverns of Nightwing. I yearn to spend time with an old friend until boredom and curiosity lead the way to our mischief and spellcasting. I yearn to find out who I was, even if it has proven impossible over the centuries.

I can’t promise any of these resolutions. I can hardly fathom the first, after so many years. I fear the second. If the year shall choose to treat me kindly, I hope to reach the third. 

To whomever this letter reaches, let it be known that I thought as well as to protect those dearest. Until next time. "

Sincerely, 

Spencer of Nightwing

(Day 1) August 1st: Seasonal: what sort of changes does your character go through as seasons change? What are their go-to activities during each season? (i.e. do they garden during spring time, partake in snowball fights during winter, etc.) How does their attire/fur/appearance change by season?

The seasons don’t change Spencer too terribly. He handles both cold and heat better than an average human would, so he dresses more to blend in and be comfortable while he travels. He can be seen with a cloak walking through blizzards, or in the heat of the summer with no worry of burning his skin.

(Day 2) August 2nd: Vices. What does your character do that other characters may find annoying? i.e: certain outlooks or attitudes on life? Ironic flirting? Do they chew with their mouth open? Smoke inside? Etc. Are they aware that these quirks are annoying or not?

Spencer’s a conscious and hospitable person most of the time. His habits that might get on other’s nerves are more nervous quirks than anything. He paces when he gets thinking too hard on a topic. He tends to talk faster and ramble the more engrossed he is in a problem. It can lead to him walking head first into situations and trying to handle things on his own, whether he should or not.

( Day 3) August 3rd: Paradigm shift: What would it take to push your character into a 180° personality shift? A calm character turned feral, an evil character turned hero, a being of chaos turned gentle, a non-confrontational character turned combative? Describe the hypothetical steps and scenarios it would take to stimulate that shift (no matter how drastic or implausible,) and lead into a hero-to-villain (or vice versa) arc in their own story

(Day 4) August 4th: Scars. List some significant scars that your character has, and tell us where they came from. If they don’t have any scars, is there a reason?

(Day 5) August 5th: Parents. Does your character know their parents? If not, then why? Describe your character's relationship with their parents if/when they knew them. Does your character have anyone that they consider a parent, despite not being blood related? Tell us about them!

(Day 6) August 6th: Erasure. Is there one event or happening your character would like to erase from their past? Why? How would their life be different now if that event could be erased?

(Day 7) August 7th: Sleep. What does your character’s bed or sleeping space look like when they wake up? Are the covers off on one side of the bed, is your character all curled around a pillow or sprawled everywhere, etc? What is their go-to sleeping position? Does your character even need sleep or sleep at all? If they don't sleep, describe what they do in their down time/resting periods
